19 years old, forgetting what things are called and memory loss?

Posted , 3 users are following.

For around 2 months I have had memory loss, forgetting what things are called, forgetting what people are called and generally having a poor memory. I'm really scared, I'm not having any seizures, headaches or anything else to do with tumours like pins and needles etc, but I do have these poor memory issues.

Could it be a tumour even though I don't have headaches or any other tumour symptoms?

    Hello I would definately go to your GP for some advice and reassurance. You need put your mind at rest.

    It may be caused by something else eg tiredness, fatigue, depression, an infection ( urine) .

    Hoping you get some answers.

    Best wishes

      Okay, thanks for the advice. But do you think that it's very unlikely that it is anything serious since I don't have any of the main symptoms of a tumour?

      Hey. Unfortunately I'm not a medical professional so I can't guarantee that sweetheart. Please please go to your GP for some advice. Are you not keen on going to the doctors?

    Its the best thing to do, going to your GP, but please do not ever allow fear to creep in otherwise it would be difficult to come out of it.

    Hope you have a better visit to the Dr
